We have already decided on the name Owen if we have a boy, but I'm struggling with girls names. Ideally looking for something short and non-frilly that isn't right at the top of popularity charts. I think two syllables works best with our surname. What's your opinions on these?:

Lara
Zara
Lois
Erin
Nina

And maybe Bethan

Any other ideas would be welcomed! 😊

FawnDrench- you’ve mentioned almost all of the females in my family!

Lara is my DD so, naturally, I love it!

Love Zara and Nina. Erin is so popular in my area it's bordering on boring for me. Lara is ok but definitely prefer Zara and not a fan of Bethan, although Beth on its own I do like. Other 2 syllable names: Lyra, Anna, Zoe, Emma, Layla.

I like Zara. Not keen on any of the others, sorry.
